  Dame Diana Rigg 13 Feb 2006  
Dame Diana Rigg
On stage in Honour

This week Dame Diana Rigg takes to the stage at Wyndham’s theatre in London for the opening night of Honour. She plays the wronged wife in a play about a marriage that breaks up after 32 years, and the consequences for the husband, wife, daughter and 'the other woman'.

Dame Diana's recent stage roles - in Medea, Mother Courage, and as Martha in Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf are a far cry from the TV role that turned her into an icon and sex symbol of the 60s – as cat-suited, karate-kicking Emma Peel in The Avengers. 

Martha talks with Dame Diana about her life and career. 
 
Honour is at Wyndham's Theatre, London from 14 February to 25 February
